Proposed Severance Application B03/16 (Bill Cheshire, Part Lot 11, Jones Range, geographic Township of Keppel)
The purpose of this consent application is to re-establish two parcels of land that had previously merged when placed under the same ownership. This will create two lots with 30 metres of frontage and 47 metres deep. The application had been deferred under the suggested studies requested by the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority and the Grey County Planning Department had been completed.
c) Updated Planning Report
The Secretary-Treasurer gave the Planning Report on behalf of Kelly Henderson, Planner for the County of Grey. The Notice of Public Meeting was circulated to the agencies for review. The following comments were received:
Since the Public meeting, date July 13th, 2016, the applicant has hired an engineer and has prepared a coastal assessment in support of the proposed severance application. The report has been circulated to the relevant agencies and the following comments have been received:
• County of Grey Planning and Development has reviewed the Coastal Assessment and have no concerns, provided the Conservation Authority is satisfied with the report and any development on the proposed lots reflects the finding in the report.
• Grey Sauble Conservation Authority is satisfied with the recommendations of the Coastal Assessment report prepared by Darryl M. Robins Consulting Inc., dated January 11, 2017. As such, we have no objections to the consent and zoning applications and the recommendations of the report can be appropriately addressed through GSCA’s permitting process. However, the zoning application may need to be revised with the Township to reduce the rear yard setback to 6 m. as per the concept plan provided. The site specific development will require a permit under Ontario Regulation 151/06. As part of

a permit application to our office final site grading and drainage plans along with building plans will be required that reflect the findings of the Coastal Assessment report. It is our understanding that Mr. Cheshire does not intend to develop the lots himself. As such, we encourage that the purchasers of the lots be informed of the development criteria.
The Notice of Complete Application and Notice of Public Meeting was circulated to all property owners within 120 m of the subject property. No other comments were received by the report submission deadline.

Policies Affecting the Proposal
Provincial Policy StatementGrey County Official PlanTownship of Georgian Bluffs Official PlanThe 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) issued under Section 3 of the Planning Actrequires that land use planning decisions 'be consistent with' provincial policies.Decision makers are asked to be consistent with the policies of the PPS including: 1.Building Strong Communities; 2. Wise Use and Management of Resources; and 3.Protecting Public Health and Safety. The PPS is to be read in its entirety and therelevant policies are to be applied to each situation, therefore only excerpts from thePPS have been highlighted to demonstrate the proposal's conformity with the ProvincialPolicy Statement.
Under Section 4.7 of the PPS, the Official Plan is identified as "the most importantvehicle for implementation of this Provincial Policy Statement. Comprehensive,integrated and long-term planning is best achieved through official plans. Official plansshould identify provincial interests and set out appropriate land use designations and
1
poiicies." (PPS 2014, pg. 33). The PPS does not specifically address development on aresidential lot, but rather identifies Settlement areas as the focus of growth anddevelopment (Section 1.1.3.1). The Grey County Official Plan (GCOP, Section 2.6.4(2))designates the subject lands as Secondary Settlement area and permits residentialuses.
Section 1.6.6.5 b) of the PPS permits partial services in the following circumstances:"b) within settlement areas, to allow for infilling and minor rounding out of existingdevelopment on partial sen/sces provided that site conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negative impacts." Within the East LintonSecondary Settlement Area, the lands are partially serviced with municipal water. Whendevelopment occurs, the retained lot will be serviced by a private septic system andmunicipal water.
in the GCOP, Appendix B Constraint Mapping indicates the presence of SignificantWoodland on the subject property. Section 2.1.8 of the PPS does not permitdevelopment on adjacent lands to the Woodlands unless It has been evaluated andthere will be no negative impacts. When the subject lot was created in 2006, the landswere zoned as R1 and By-law 21-2006. No EIS was undertaken at the time, however,the By-law identifies a 45m x 80m (147 ft x 262 ft.) development envelope.It has been determined by the County (comments dated May 3, 2017) that an EIS is notrequired for this application as the two lots were already established.
GCOP policy 2.6.2(1) sets minimum targets for intensification within SecondarySettlement areas in the County. in the secondary settlement areas in Georgian Bluffs;East Linton, Kilsyth, Shallow Lake and Springmount, that target, overall, is 5%.Intensification is defined as follows:Intensification means the development of a property, site or area at a higher densitythan currently exists through:
a) Redevelopment, including the reuse of brownfieid sites;b) The development of vacant and/or underutiiized lots within previously
developed areas;c) Infili development; andd) The expansion or conversion of existing buildings.
What this means Is that the target for new growth in the Secondary Settlement areas is5% of all residential development occurring annually in the Township. For the landssubject to this application, residential intensification is not proposed, nor possiblebecause of the presence of Significant Woodlands and natural heritage features on theproperty and adjacent lands. The six development envelopes implemented by By-law21-2006 ensures a continuous tree cover over approximately 16.5 acres. There issufficient iand designated within the Secondary Settlement areas for residentialintensification. In 2016, 36 residential building permits were issued and six (16.6%) ofthose were for new dwellings in Secondary Settlement areas. So for 2016, the 5%target was reached.
The proposed development is consistent with the PPS and conforms to the purpose andintent of the Grey County Official Plan and the Township of Georgian Bluffs OfficialPlan.
The Township of Georgian Bluffs Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 6-2003The subject land is zoned (R1' General Residential and By-law 21-2006 and a detacheddwelling and associated residential uses are permitted on the !ot. The lot addition willincrease the size of the lot known as 106 Alexandria Street so it will exceed the requiredlot area (0.4 acres) and frontage (30m) of the R1 zone. The proposed remnant lot alsomeets the zone provisions and maintains the development envelope as regulated byBy-law 21-2006.
The subject proposal is generally in keeping with the intent and purpose of theTownship of Georgian Bluffs Zoning By-law.
Relevant ConsultationThe Notice of Complete Application and Notice of Public Meeting was circulated tothe agencies for review. The following comments were received by the reportsubmission deadline:
• Township of Georgian Bluffs Building Department: Note no concerns at thistime.County of Grey Planning and Development: In correspondence dated May3, 2017, the County notes that while the property contains 'SignificantWoodlands', they are not requiring an E!S "because the two lots implicated bythe subject application were already established." They recommend commentsbe received from the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority. The TransportationServices Department has reviewed the application and note no objections to theapplication. As per County policy, the severed parcel cannot have an entranceon the County road. The entranceway to the property will remain off ofAlexandria Street.Provided the severed lands are added to the abutting lands, intensificationtargets are reviewed, comments are received from the CA and the lands can beadequately serviced, the County has no further concerns with this application.They request to be notified of the decision on this file.
• The Historic Saugeen Metis (HSM) Lands, Resources, and ConsultationDepartment: In correspondence dated April 26, 2017 the HSM note they havereviewed the relevant documents and have no objection or opposition to theproposed development, land re-designation, rezoning, land severance, OfficialPlan and/or Zoning By-law Amendments.
• Drinking Water Source Protection: In correspondence dated April 25, 2017staff note that the subject property Is not within a source water protectionarea/zone, therefore a source protection screening letter is not required.
• Grey Sauble Conservation Authority: In comments dated May 15, 2017, theGSCA notes that the property is not regulated under Ontario Regulation 151/06.As the proposal does not result in any new lots being created, they do notanticipate negative impacts. They recommend that all development occur
outside of the significant woodland feature and that the Ministry of NaturalResources & Forestry (MNRF) be contacted prior to any development or sitealteration on the properties regarding habitat of endangered species to ensurethat they are in accordance with provincial legislation. They request to benotified of the decision on this file.
The Notice of Complete Application and Notice of Public Meeting was circulated toall property owners within 60 m of the subject property. No written comments werereceived from the public.
CONCLUSION:The proposal is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement, has regard for theGrey County Official Plan, the Township of Georgian Bluffs Official Plan and theComprehensive Zoning By-law 6-2003. Provided no objections are presented at thePublic Hearing, it is recommended that application B01/17 be APPROVED with thefollowing condition:

Owners: Richard and Rebecca LeQuyereCon 2 SCD, Part Lot 15, RP 16R46, Part 5 (Keppel)CivicAddress: 718727 Highway 6ASRN: 4203 620 002 15305
APPLICATION SUMMARYThis application is to amend the A2 zoning on the subject property to permit a 78 m2(848 sq. ft.) secondary suite to the rear of the lot. The existing entrance and drivewaywill be used to access the suite and it will be serviced by the existing well and septic.The lot demonstrates that there is adequate parking adjacent to the suite for 2 parkingspaces. The application indicates that the suite will be located within the followingsetbacks:Rear yard setback: 4.267 m (14 ft.)Side yard setback (east): 11.5m (37.7 ft.)Side yard setback (west): 9.527 m (31.2 ft.)Setback from the primary dwelling 23.165 m (76 ft.)
POLICIES AFFECTING THE PROPOSALProvincial Policy Statement,Grey County Official PlanTownship of Georgian Bluffs Comprehensive Zoning By-law 6-2003, as amended.The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) issued under Section 3 of the Planning Actrequires that land use planning decisions 'be consistent with' provincial policies.Decision makers are asked to be consistent with the policies of the PPS including: 1 .Building Strong Communities; 2. Wise Use and Management of Resources; and 3.Protecting Public Health and Safety. The PPS is to be read in its entirety and therelevant policies are to be applied to each situation, therefore only excerpts from thePPS have been highlighted to demonstrate the proposal's conformity with the ProvincialPolicy Statement.
Under Section 4.7 of the PPS, the Official Plan is identified as, "the most importantvehicle for implementation of this Provincial Policy Statement. Comprehensive,integrated and long-term planning is best achieved through official plans. Official plansshould identify provincial interests and set out appropriate land use designations andpolicies." (PPS 2014, pg. 33). The PPS has been reviewed in its entirety and does notspecifically address secondary suites in rural areas. The PPS directs decision makersto manage and direct land use to achieve efficient development and land use patterns.
The Grey County Official Plan (GCOP) designates the subject lands Rural and permitsa range of uses including: agriculture and forestry, low density non-farm residential,garden suites, small scale commercial and industrial uses, institutional and resource
1
based recreational uses. In Section 1.8 e) Housing Policy, it is stated that the Countysupports:
"e) housing accessible to lower and moderate income households. In thisregard, accessory apartments, semi-detached, duplex, townhouse and low rise
apartment units will provide the bulk of affordable opportunities and will likely beprovided within settlement areas with appropriate levels of servicing beingavailable. Outside of settlement areas accessory apartments will be themost likely means of increasing housing affordability." (pg. 17 GCOP 2012,as amended).
Bill 140, Strong Communities through Affordable Housing Act, 2011, encouragessecondary suites in locations where they can be supported. With the introduction of Bill140, amendments were made to Sections 16 and 17 of the Planning Act to permitsecondary suites as a form of housing within official plans. The amendments to thePlanning Act also removed the right to appeal the secondary suite policies in an officialplan or zoning by-law, except during the 5-year review process. This ability to appealthe policies during the 5 year review may be further limited by The Smart Growth forOur Communities Act, 2015. The County Official P!an is in compliance with Bill 140.Council should be aware that once a by-law authorizing a secondary suite has beenpassed, there is no appeal period.
Section 1.6.6.4 of the PPS identifies individual on-site sewage and individual on-sitewater services as the least preferred servicing option. They are permitted provided thatsite conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negativeimpacts. In all rural areas of the Township, there are no municipal services thereforethe proposed development will be serviced by the existing private septic system andexisting private well.
Section 1.6.8.3 of the PPS addresses development on lands adjacent to transportationcorridors.
"Planning authorities shall not permit development in planned corridors thatcould preclude or negatively affect the use of the corridor for the purpose(s) forwhich it was identified.New development proposed on adjacent lands to existing or planned corridorsand transportation facilities should be compatible with, and supportive of, thelong-term purposes of the corridor and should be designed to avoid, mitigate orminimize negative impacts on and from the corridor and transportation facilities."
The location of the proposed secondary suite is on lands adjacent to Provincial Highway6. Comments from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) had not been received by thereport deadline.
Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 6-2003The lands are zoned 'A2' Restricted Rural, and residential and associated residentialuses are permitted. As indicated on the site plan, the existing dwelling is locatedapproximately 30.48 m (100 ft.) from the front property line; the proposed secondarysuite wil! be located 98.75 m (323 ft.) from the front property line. The followingsetbacks will apply to the location of the suite:Rear yard setback: 4.267 m (14 ft.)
Side yard setback (east): 11.5 m (37.7 ft.)Side yard setback (west): 9.527 m (31.2 ft.)Setback from the primary dwelling 23.165 m (76 ft.)The 'A2' zone provisions only permit one dwelling per lot so relief to the by-iaw isrequired to permit the secondary suite.
In the absence of comments from the MTO it has not been determined that thisapplication complies with the Provincial Policy Statement, the Grey County Official Planand the intent of the Township of Georgian Bluffs Comprehensive Zoning By-law 6-2003. as amended.
RELEVANT CONSULTATIONAgenciesThe Notice of Complete Application and Notice of Public Meeting was circulated toagencies for review. The following comments were received:

From Kassandra Rocca, Treasurer / Director of Financial Services
Subject 2017 Tax Rates
Report No. FIN2017- 08
Recommendation
That By-law 2017-046, being a by-law to adopt the 2017 Tax Rates for the Township of Georgian Bluffs, be read a first, second and third time, and finally passed, signed by the Mayor and Clerk, sealed with the Seal of Corporation and engrossed in the By-law Book.
Background
At the Council meeting on March 8, 2017, Council passed by-law number 2017-017 to adopt the 2017 operating and capital budgets for the township. Tax rates were not adopted at this time as the County and Education rates were not finalized. The total sums required by taxation approved by council for 2017 are $8,857,145.
Analysis
As discussed in budget meetings, in order to raise $8,857,145, a municipal residential rate of .00541069 is required. This is a 3.4% increase in the municipal rate over 2016. The total combined tax rate increase over prior year, when factoring in the finalized County and Education rates, is 1.7%.
Report FIN2017-XX Page 2 of 3
Financial Impact
Per MPAC, the average assessment for a single family detached home in the Township for 2016 was $280,308. Based on this assessment, the tax increase from 2016 to 2017 on the average assessed value is $51.63.
Implications
Although the tax rate for 2017 is an increase from 2016 and ratepayers should expect an increase on their tax bill, some ratepayers will see a tax savings as properties were reassessed effective January 1, 2017. Ratepayers who have a reduction in their assessment due to reassessment could have a decrease in tax from prior year.
